Ah The Easy Life of a High School Coach

For those of you have been with me since my old days blogging on AOL you are well aware that I am a high school teacher and coach (for 41 years).

We are often told, good naturedly I hope, what a nice cushy job coaching indoor track is. Yes Virginia, there is an indoor track season in Wyoming. Well let me tell you about my weekend.

-Saturday morning-

Left house, 4:05 Am
Loaded bus, 4:15 AM
Departed for track meet, 4:30
Five hour and five minutes later, we arrive at meet site
Great track meet –Kids preformed, and conducted themselves wonderfully

Leave for home sometime after nine, I was nearly comatose by this point so am not sure of exact time

Roads were not bad but a bit slick in places – typical winter roads in the Cowboy state- a bit slower

Arrive back at high school, 3:30 AM
Back home, 3:40 AM
Bed at last, after a nice 23 hour and 35 minute day –ah the good life
Sunday, turned into vegetable
Monday morning, back to school
Tuesday morning, practice at six AM

About Me

Living in Wyoming, I love everything about the West, including very old and brand new western stories. I have published nine books, all of which are available online as soft covers, or eBooks. In addition to my books, I am an avid blogger and short story writer and have published more than a dozen historical articles, both online and in print. In addition to writing I am an avid reader, photographer, hiker and master gardener. When not reading or writing, I can be found playing golf or with camera in hand snapping photos.
